LA based, but AZ native! Food enthusiast with hesitations… that is until I met The Body Shop Erik! Private trainers, crash diets, Atkins, but as this list goes on, I will cut to the chase… Lost 35 pounds and have been educated: food is not the enemy, but the ally in body transformation.

With a private trainer three days a week for two and half years and numerous weight loss ploys throughout the earlier years, I never seemed to achieve that “summer beach body.” I hurt my back, lost the ability to workout… and then my sister-in-law mentioned Erik and the wonders he does: “Just try it Missy, you like to follow the rules!”

Knowing When You Are Ready: With that, I set out and came across some amazing milestones. My 40 th birthday present to myself was this body transformation that I thought was something almost near impossible to achieve. Now, I am here to spread some positivity, keep the communication open and help those see that what they think is the “impossible” is actually quite possible.

Coached by Erik Young with continued mentorship! Here to inspire those to start their journey. I will coach those who are afraid of the carbs, afraid of the calorie intake, and afraid to enjoy some delicious food and know that living the life of healthy and sustainable food is a lot more fun than you can imagine.

(Food) References – Non-Restrictive: El Compadre (LA), Casa Vega (LA), Casa Reynoso (AZ), Nobu (LA), Kiwami (LA), Craigs (LA), Rao’s (LA), Angry Crab (AZ)… etc.

Hobbies include writing with creativity and enjoying life…as well as hiking with the fur-babies, cardio exercise, learning new things, continued nutrition cultivation, and helping others to achieve their goals without demonizing food and restricting their life.

I’m an Arizona Native but studied at University of Hawaii at Manoa on Oahu with an interest in health and nutrition. Throughout high school I struggled with weight gain and knew I needed to make a change. Years later I reached out to Erik and now he's been coaching me for the last 12 months. He changed the way I look at food and now I'm on a mission to show women they don’t have to restrict or starve themselves to lose weight. There is a better way! 

I’ve been mentoring under him for the last year as he coached and guided me. I received my nutrition certification 6months ago and now I have the tools and knowledge to change lives!

I developed a passion for hiking and surfing for the past 3 years I lived on the island of Oahu Hawaii. I recently just got engaged and am excited to bring this sustainable healthy lifestyle into my marriage!

Lauren's mission is to help you get off of the diet roller coaster and create a healthy, sustainable lifestyle that works for you! As a former dancer and swimmer, she developed a love for health and fitness at a young age. While other teens were reading Seventeen Magazine, she was consuming every inch of Self and Women's Health. In 2012, Lauren graduated from Arizona State University with her Bachelors in Print Journalism and a plan to combine her two passions, writing for a health magazine; however, years of experimenting with many of the fad "diets" she read about led to a struggle for balance.

After being both under and overweight, trying everything from Slimfast to Paleo, HCG and everything in between, Lauren finally found stability counting macros in 2016. She was the heaviest she'd ever been and began a journey of self-discovery for both physical and mental health. In July 2017, after losing 45 pounds herself, Lauren hired coach and co-founder, Tommy Jeffree. 

Since then she has lost an additional 45 pounds and competed in two NPC bikini competitions. Now she wants to pay it forward and help you stop the yo-yo dieting and restrictions to create a fun and balanced lifestyle. Between her own experiences and mentoring from Tommy, this Arizona native is ready to share her knowledge and help you achieve and maintain a healthy mind and body!
